Nintendo Hosting ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’ Direct This Week

The Fox ditto was as exciting as expected, but Leffen was playing some of the best Smash Bros. of his life on Sunday and handily won the first two games.

Nintendo announced at the Evo finals this morning that there would be a Nintendo Direct stream happening later this week.

Nintendo has finally announced a new livestream event, but there doesn't seem much chance it'll reveal any new games.

As such, Sakurai has warned not too expect too many new characters, with the only major new ones so far being the Inklings from Splatoon and Ridley from Metroid. Sakurai is also the director behind "Super Smash Bros." for the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS and "Kid Icarus" for the 3DS.

Luckily for us, we don't have to wait very long for this Direct to premiere. Ultimate Direct for later this week. Ultimate information for you? Head down to the comments section and let us know!
